A representative of the illegal regime created in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan could not meet with any official representative of Argentina.
The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry made the remark when commenting on the information spread in the Armenian press about meetings held in Argentina by the "foreign minister" of the illegal separatist regime created in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
He has participated in events dedicated to the fictional "Armenian genocide", which were organized by the Armenian community of Argentina at the Faculty of Law of the University of Buenos Aires.
"The information spread in the Armenian press about the visit of a “representative” of this regime to Argentina is designed to encourage an illegal regime and is self-deception," the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry noted.
MFA added that the Argentine organization Armenian Institutions expressed deep concern about the note published by the Argentine Foreign Ministry and addressed to the government agencies.
"This note stresses that Argentina considers non-interference in the internal affairs of another country and the principle of respect for the territorial integrity of states as the fundamental basis of relations between sovereign states, as well as peace and security, as reflected in the UN Charter second paragraph," the Foreign Ministry said.
Argentina does not recognize the so-called “Nagorno-Karabakh Republic” as an independent and sovereign state, the Ministry said.
Therefore, it is not recommended to host and hold official meetings with the so-called "foreign minister of Nagorno-Karabakh"," the Ministry noted.
Tn that period, Emilio Monzo, Argentine Chamber of Deputies of the National Congress, was on an official visit to Azerbaijan for the first time. At all meetings held, he stressed that Argentina favors the above position, and his country is interested in deepening cooperation with Azerbaijan in all spheres.
Thus, the separatist regime “representative” personally witnessed that the international community, including Argentina, did not recognize the illegal occupation regime.
Argentina expressed steady support of Baku in adopting UN Security Council resolutions 822, 853, 874, 884 and resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the framework of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of the internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan.
Armenia has not yet implemented four UN Security Council resolutions on withdrawal of its armed forces from the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding districts.
